USA: AT&T's Samsung Focus now starts receiving the Windows Phone 7.5 update

AT&T's Samsung Focus is officially getting its Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update. Windows Phone Blog says that its the Samsung Focus 1.4. I really did not get what Microsoft is saying when they said the 1.4 version of the Focus but over at Update Central, Microsoft notes that both the Samsung Focus 1.3 and 1.4 versions are already getting the update. Also, Microsoft is already scheduling the release of the same update to the Samsung Omnia 7 in Spain (Telefonica) since this is one of those Windows Phones that did not get the update when Microsoft started to release it. Anyway, for instructions on how to get the update head over here.

USA: Microsoft & AT&T now starts pushing Windows Phone 7 updates

AT&T and Microsoft have started pushing two updates for the Samsung Focus and the LG Quantum. Like what they said before, the HTC Surround's updates are still being tested so for those who have the Surround, a bit more waiting and patience is asked from you guys. The first update you will be receiving is the February update, which I believe will and is required before you can install the "NoDo" (March) update. The "NoDo" update is where the copy and paste feature is. Aside from that the NoDo update improves the Marketplace search and a faster app launching.

USA: Windows Phone 7 "NoDo" updates are coming to AT&T - Samsung Focus & the LG Quantum

Two AT&T Windows Phone 7 powered smartphones will soon be getting the much awaited "NoDo" update which will include the copy and paste feature of the mobile platform. According to the Windows Phone Blog, AT&T is now scheduling the February and the "NoDo" update for the Samsung Focus and the LG Quantum. According to to PhoneArena, the update is expected to start rolling out or be released 10 days from now.

Microsoft resumes Windows Phone 7 update to Samsung devices

The first update for Windows Phone 7 was released and everything went well, until reports from Samsung WP7 device owners complained about their devices not getting the update or the update have bricked their handsets. Microsoft have logically stopped the update in response to the situation. Now the update is back and is now safe for download.

Updated: Samsung Focus review, this time from Gizmodo & Endgadget

©Gizmodo

My previous reviews of 4 amazing Windows Phone 7 devices are all from Endgadget. It seems Gizmodo has a Samsung Focus on hand and have made a review out of it. Now, Gizmodo does not have that scorecard rating that Endgadget has but who needs a scorecard from this device if the title from Gizmodo's review goes: "Samsung Focus Review: The First Windows Phone That Matters"? It'll be of the same though, I'd be getting snippets from Gizmodo's review just to sum up everything they have discovered.

AT&T to launch three Windows Phone 7 smartphones - HTC Surround, Samsung Focus, and LG Quantum

Eleven smartphones were unveiled and introduced to the public during Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 event. 3 of them are going to AT&T. Samsung, HTC, and LG have one phone each for AT&T, the HTC Surround, Samsung Focus, and the LG Quantum. The three phones will all pack a 1GHz processor & AT&T U-verse Mobile app which allows “users download and watch hit shows on their smartphone.”

WP7 ad says Samsung Focus coming on November 8

Windows Phone 7 webpage

This kind of makes everything official. Windows Phone 7 ads shows that the Samsung Focus, referred then as the Samsung Cetus, is coming to AT&T on November 8th. Samsung, I think is bound to be the first mobile phone manufacturer to launch a WP7 device and I hope LG and HTC won't prove me wrong.

The mobile phone OS also gets a spanking new webpage for itself, kind of separate from that of the, not latest, WinMo 6.5. Click here to visit that new webpage for the Windows Phone 7.

Samsung Cetus i917 caught on video with Garage Door opener app

The Samsung Cetus i917 is one of Samsung's leaked/rumored Windows Phone 7-based smartphone. Because this is still a rumored and a leaked smartphone, everything that the tech world will know about it is also rumored. Endgadget was able to get the pre-release specs of this smartphone that features a 4inch AMOLED touch screen display.



Anyway, WMPowerUser was able to record a video with program designer Charlie Kindel with his Samsung Cetus and shows off his creation, an app that allows him to control his garage doors, and he is actually planning to control his whole house with his smartphone. Anyway, if that is the case then the Samsung Cetus and Windows Phone 7 are partners that will surely click in the market today.
